Mission

VISION A united and resilient community where everyone belongs and everyone thrives. MISSION We mobilize and support a robust network of people, partners, and resources to co-create opportunities for every person in our community to live free from poverty and injustice. FOCUS We employ the community school strategy as the organizing framework for elevating student success, supporting families, and engaging communities throughout Buncombe County.

Notes from the nonprofit

In June of 1921, in the immediate aftermath of WWI, a crippling pandemic, and a historic 100-year flood, community leaders from five civic organizations came together to form the Asheville “Community Chest”—the first of its kind in North Carolina. The principle was both simple and powerful: they would unite their fundraising efforts into a single, community-wide campaign, the proceeds of which would support local agencies engaged directly in vital community recovery efforts. One hundred years later, in the face of severe economic, social and public health challenges wrought by the Coronavirus pandemic, that same body still pursues the same, fundamental purpose: uniting our community to confront challenges that no single individual or agency can solve alone.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Community Investments and Partnerships

We believe it is critical that we invest community dollars into organizations and programs that provide strong support for the education, financial stability and health of everyone in our community, from infants to elders. Through grants and contracts, we invest in the work of more than 30 local nonprofits.

Community Schools

We mobilize and support a robust network of people, partners, and resources to co-create opportunities for every person in our community to live free from poverty and injustice. This is why we've chosen the United for Youth Network and Community Schools as the organizing framework for elevating student success, supporting families, and engaging communities throughout Buncombe County.

United Way supports investments in seven Community Schools in Asheville and Buncombe County. The locations include Asheville Middle, Enka Middle, Owen Middle, Erwin Middle, A.C. Reynolds Middle, North Buncombe, and Asheville High/SILSA.

Hands On Asheville-Buncombe

The volunteer center of United Way, Hands On Asheville-Buncombe, makes it easy to get involved in meaningful volunteer opportunities with local nonprofit organizations and Community Schools. With hundreds of opportunities made available each month, it's easy to connect with a cause that fits your interests and schedule.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

The core focus of our work is to provide leadership, alignment, and support for United for Youth and Community Schools to elevate student success, support families, and engage communities throughout Buncombe County.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Using the power of collective impact we serve as a backbone of support to a growing network of "cradle to career" partners working under the umbrella of United for Youth. United for Youth partners are working together to ensure that by 2035, ALL Asheville City and Buncombe County students graduate from high school ready and fully prepared to pursue their goals and dreams. This is about creating change at scale. To do this United Way staff wake up every day to make sure the partners are aligning efforts, developing and using shared measurement practices, coordinating communication, and leveraging the power of our community.

Community Schools is our unique contribution to this community. We currently have staff placed at 7 different schools across the county. Their job is to bring together the partners and resources needed to ensure that these schools are seen as welcoming and supportive places for youth and families.

Community Investments come in a variety of forms but our team works with our community to decide how to invest our resources in services that are needed. One example is the growing need for mental health support for youth. We've contracted with local providers to help increase the supply of counselors available in our schools.

And finally our Volunteer Center (Hands On Asheville-Buncombe) mobilizes community members to help support a wide array of projects that support youth and families.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Since its founding in 1921, United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County (UWABC) has been known as a convener — bringing together the necessary people and resources needed to tackle crucial community issues and connect people to the support they need.

Today we are working to align resources and partnerships in 7 Community Schools, and our support for a growing network of community partners within United for Youth has us taking a more hands-on approach to working in and with our community.

In fact, recognizing that education and equity are inseparable and key to our vision of a united and resilient community where everyone belongs and everyone thrives, the community school strategy now serves as United Way’s central organizing framework.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

A few highlights:

With support and funding from United Way, school-based health centers in four schools received approximately 1,730 visits from students and families last year.

Across the Community Schools, over 450 students participated in mentor groups led by community partners and 174 utilized student support groups through Access Family Services.

And in collaboration with school administrators, UWABC staff coordinated 103 Community Nights, reaching over 1,100 participants from at least 45 neighborhoods.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.

Policies and processes

We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
